Worldviews have to change over the course of our life. We cannot see how we have always seen, and certainly not how our ancestors have have seen, and not even as the people we spend most of our time with see, and expect to be able to see what we are looking at and comprehendContinue reading “November 07, 2023 – A”

There is what we do for a living, and there is what we live to do. Too much of the West lives to make money for/with which they have nothing to do. “Let’s go to the moon!” “Let’s go see the Titanic!” “Let’s buy the United States Government!” “Let’s destroy democracy!” “Let’s burn everything down!”Continue reading “November 06, 2023 – A”

We need to make things right– as right as they can be made– by making reparations and restitution to indigenous people and descendants of slaves, and stop talking about God and Jesus until we do that. God and Jesus demand/require that reparations and restitution be made. We make a mockery of our affiliation with GodContinue reading “November 05, 2023 – A”

Consider the infrastructure required for this bridge to do its job at optimum efficiency. Optimum efficiency demands balance and harmony, whether it is a bridge in question or you and all the things that keep you running at optimum efficiency. Each of us is this bridge, dependent upon our sitz im leben to keep usContinue reading “November 04, 2023 – A”

There has to be an accounting, a reckoning, an awakening, a realization, a full knowing of who we are and what we have done. This is basic 12-Step stuff. Squaring up to our lapses, failures, excesses and deficits– and letting it be because it is, learning from it, and living to redeem it, making amendsContinue reading “November 03, 2023 – A”

Now is now everywhere. If everyone wherever they are would only do what needs to be done now, where and how it needs to be done, and follow that into the next now flowing from this one, the transformation would be instantaneous. And since there is nothing but now in which to experience being alive,Continue reading “November 02, 2023 – A”

The people in Stonington, Maine eke out a living as best they can, like 99% of the world’s population from the beginning– and, if they are lucky, foster an inner life that enables them to live with joy, resolve and resiliency amid the ebbs and flows of their outer life. How many world-wide through allContinue reading “November 01, 2023 – A”

Hate, fear and greed are the primary motivators. Peace, love and compassion have no chance against them. “The Woke masses are going to take your guns! And the people of color are going to eat your babies!” Repeat that over and over from the pulpits and the talk shows and you have recreated Hitler GermanyContinue reading “November, 2023”

We know more than we know we know. Let’s spend the rest of our life discovering what that is! Curiosity leads the way! Being curious about our nighttime dreams. About the things that spontaneously occur to us, or call us to action, out of nowhere, for no apparent reason. About questions that arise unbidden, booksContinue reading “October 31, 2023 – A”

We are always looking, pleading, for divine assistance, when all the help we need is “right there,” right here, right now. We are born with what we need to find what we need to do what needs to be done here/now. And, we will not be abandoned and left bereft. So, what’s with all theContinue reading “October 30, 2023 – A”

Believe whatever it takes in order to do the right thing at the right time in the right place in the right way in each situation as it arises all your life long no matter what it means for you personally. That’s what Jesus did, and that’s what Jesus calls us to do. This nonsenseContinue reading “October 29, 2023 – A”

When the structures and systems supporting society fail for lack of attention, it is a mark against us all, declaring that someone did not vote for the right people. When the right people do not hold positions of responsibility, the rest of the people suffer. Was it PT Barnum who said, “No one ever gotContinue reading “October 28, 2023 – A”
